BUT WHO CAN???!!!

Black and Gold going STRONG.

This is why I appreciated PPQ’s Fall 2010 collection…

I love how vintage inspired this collection is!

Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie.

I’m pretty sure you can find some of these looks in the “Shop Vintage” section on SMV!

So I tried…

Here we go…

I love how simply contemporary this is.

That jumpsuit is blowing my mind to different levels of awwwwwwww!

So I stumbled across this video somehow and I want to post it on my personal blog, but Blogger won’t let me post videos anymore…for some reason…so, I decided that I’m going to start posting whatever videos I think are great on SMV because I can’t help but share them!

Isn’t it weird that these were considered forbidden films…?  That these images were not appropriate….?…they don’t even seem that bad to me at all, but interesting.

Anyhow, I love the 20′s.

Ask BreannaLee: Greetings!

My flat mate and best friend has a boyfriend she’s been seeing for about 6-7 months. The back story is, she’s a really good friend and has had a lot of trouble with men in the past. She’s currently head over heels for her current bf. I don’t do drugs at all ( except smoke a little weed every few months to ease stress ) but I’ve caught him doing lines of coke off my coffee table. I confronted my friend about this, and she said it wouldn’t happen again and he was trying to kick the habit. Fine. Since then he’s grown somewhat cold towards me ( ex: answering my questions in yes and no answers, never says hi to me etc. )
Whenever he’s here my dvds seem to magically disappear and never get returned, my red wine is drunk and never replaced and I hardly ever see my friend anymore. ( They come over when I’m at work and leave before I come home. ) I am so hesitant to bring anything up as I’m afraid I’ll alienate her all together and I have no “hard evidence” but strong intuition. As previously stated, she’s been an excellent friend in the past but has a hard time with men and really loves this new guy : (
I’m so over her boyfriend why can’t she date someone nice and considerate!?

BreannaLee: Okay, NO, this is NOT okay.  It’s called respect.  R-E-S-P-E-C-T.  Somebody needs a wake up call!  That guy can do drugs in his own apartment…and if your roommate is going to back him then he should do them in her freakin’ room at the very least, GEEZ.  I hope that something has happened to rid you friend of this guy since you wrote me…?  He sounds like an ass.  If you’re old enough to make the decision to do drugs then you should be old enough to respect an other’s home.  I might be the wrong person to ask this, for the simple fact that I am completely confrontational.  I do not like things to get all twisted up in people’s minds and turned into something new and horrible.  I just say things in front of whoever and blurt my honesty out.  Nobody likes getting taken advantage of and nobody WANTS people to NOT like them.  If your friend is a true friend then she’ll respect you and whatever it is that you decide on doing to deal with this situation.  Just don’t compromise YOU.  Friends are supposed to forgive, so if she gets mad and doesn’t forgive you then she has a lot of growing up to do.  Sometimes its harder to be friends with people that don’t share the same beliefs in respect as you might.  I would personally talk to her first (again) and be serious about it this time.  If that doesn’t work then I might hit her with a, “I’m not sure I can live in a situation where I’m not being respected”.  It’s a very simple thing to state and most everyone should be able to understand that sentence and comply.  I know I definitely wouldn’t want to come home to a roommate’s boyfriend doing blow on my coffee table….wtf?!?!

Tell him to beat it and kick rocks.

GOOD LUCK!

Alright, sorry for any errors in these posts this week…I’m using a friend’s PC and let’s face it, I’m a MAC type of a person :/

So I’m in NY again trying to get some appointments to show my line out here!  I’ve recently had a few girls write me and ask about my line.  I think they heard about it on my twitter…?  It’s called BreannaLee…and yes, Spanish Moss will be carrying it.  They should have it up on the site sometime next week.  Sorry I’ve been so secretive about it…I dont even talk about it much on my personal blog, which is about to change.  I want to share with you a few photos from my look book that are my favorite!

I hope you guys like the line!

AskBreannaLee: I’ll cut right to the chase. My mom forgot my birthday. Like completely- it was three days ago.
My mom is a single mom, and she lives on the other side of the country- I’m 24 years old for reference.
Without going into my personal problems completely, this for obvious reasons hurts my feelings. She has a new boyfriend who she’s completely infatuated with, and she doesn’t seem to care to much about my life – she’s never been the mom to congratulate me or tell me she’s proud, however I know she loves me…it’s a strange relationship. She basically calls me, tells me all about her dramatic dating life in Florida, and then if I start telling her about my life she drifts off and starts talking to her dog. For some reason having your own mother forget your birthday just makes you feel kind of worthless on a deep level. Maybe it would be different if I had a serious boyfriend or lived in a place I had grown up where I had friends who were like family. Gosh this letter is a pity party!
At any rate, should I just forget it and hope she calls next year, or call her and drop hints and make her feel guilty? When I tell my mom anything on a deep or emotional level, or get serious at all, she either freaks out and has a pity party for herself ( ex: “Oh I’m sorry, being a single mom is the hardest thing anyone will ever have to do, I didn’t realize my life now was still all about you” ) or she’ll just make jokes, or hang up. Am I over reacting? Is this even worth bringing up?

BreannaLee: Geez, your mom isn’t the only one  that’s a day late and a buck short!  This took me a while to respond to.  YES, THIS IS A BIG DEAL.  This is the one day of the year that is yours.  I wonder if you have already said something to her???  I definitely would!  It’s your mother for goodness sakes!  This is all part of her duty, you know?  As a parent you have to fulfill certain things and telling your child happy freakin’ birthday is one of those duties.  She sounds like she is on the defense a lot, so you just have to let her know how SAD you actually are about it.  Let her know that she HURT you.  Parents/people need to know when they have hurt one another…no one will learn any lessons if not.  I’ve learned from experience that being extremely honest with your parents gets you further within the relationship…it gets you more respect and more trust.  She needs to respect your feelings.  I hate to say it, but she sounds a bit self-centered and a lot of people are.  You know her better than anyone, so you need to approach her in a way that gets through to her….and don’t ever say, “this isn’t about you, mom!”…or anything like that.  I’ve found that making those types of remarks to someone who can be self centered only makes them lose their minds!  I’m really very sorry for this.  My dad forgot my birthday one year….it hurt, but thankfully he called a few days later.  Subconcsiously I forgot his the following year and, needless to say, he hasn’t forgot mine since.

P.S.  Your mother’s life will always be about you…you’re her child.

I’M PROUD OF YOU AND CONGRATULATIONS!
